If you like your hands, tool handles and work to look like a dirty, old gorilla, than that's your glue. I should point out that two inch pine is not typically kiln dried and so any water-proof glue should perform better than a water soluble adhesive. Besides, glue strength is vastly over rated since projects rarely fail on any properly made glue joint. Glue joints will positively fail however for folks who make a habit of gluing end-grain butt joints. No amount of monkey glue can prevent it.

I have been using Titebond for many years, original, type two and type three with no issues but I ran out one day and could only get Gorilla. I was so impressed with the preformance that I have been using it exclusively ever since. I find it easier to spread, easier to clean up and the strength is superb. Their polyurethane glue is also brilliant for outdoor use but needs to be spread thinly as it foams and is not as easy to clean up, but super strong.

Man, I have used Gorilla glue to repair a Les Paul headstock on its third break and it did the job. No splints and no other reinforcements. I spent hundreds of dollars on having that head stock repaired "professionally" but still broke after the first two repairs. I didn't want to ditch that guitar because it plays nice and I like the tone after quite a few mods I installed Gibson pickups. So I thought I would try the Gorilla glue and am pleased I did the job myself and saved many $s.

Contact adhesives would not work at all well for a joint like that. Any PVA would be an order of magnitude better for a wood/wood joint.

Did you wet the other piece for the Gorilla Glue joint? GG needs water to cure, and causes it to foam and expand. So long as you use decent clamping force, this would force the glue into the fibres of the end grain, and might have made an even stronger joint. Should you have been using the words Tension or force rather than 'pressure'?

Gorilla recommend their Wood Glue only for wood-to-wood, as it "won't provide a maximum bond on other surfaces", to quote the video on their website. You can see occasionally the "Gorilla Wood Glue" label in the video, but it would have been clearer if the title and the narration had explicitly referred to "Gorilla Wood Glue" rather than just "Gorilla Glue", which most people would take to be the Original.

WOW.. all the people crying about using a butt joint.. they might want to check out the the small section from 30 seconds to 55 seconds into the video where I herd you clearly state you were testing the GLUE STRENGTH on the WEAKEST joint possable.

Many fails over the years. A bookshelf I made had only the edge of two shelves glued to a backboard on the wall. These took the weight of a of an encyclopedia. Using blockboard! When it was pensioned off, I tried to break it up and only broke the wood apart near the joints! I am going to use it when gluing my new bench together...

Gorilla foams up a bit, so it's a great choice where there are more voids between the members. You were gluing an end-grain to the face, and end grains are quite porous. I go for gorilla when doing restoration work, or any rough-sawn wood, because there will be more dings and tears making some space. If you're going face-to-face, same-direction grains, my guess is the difference between their strength shrinks. For that I like good ol' yellow carpenter's glue, because it lasts on my shelf forever.

This is very misleading, titebond wood glues are meant to be used long grain to long grain. Woodworking glue doesn't adhere well to itself, but it bonds very well with wood. This results in substandard strength when attempting to glue end grain. Woodworking techniques have evolved to account for this problem. Gorilla Glue is prohibitively expensive to use exclusively on even medium sized projects. Gorilla Glue should only be used when woodworking glue wood be ineffective, but planning a project properly usually means there are no weak joints. Test again using proper long grain to long grain joints and you'll get vastly different results.

This isn't gorilla glue, it's gorilla WOOD glue. He states he's using the weakest joint (butt to edge) for consistency. Did you watch any of the video?

What about Titebond original vs Titebond II?

A much better wood glue test can be found here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nWGblcefd8SZo6w.html Keep in mind that some glues are waterproof, and some are not. If a glue tests good (but is not waterproof) and you're using it outside in the elements (rain, snow, etc) it won't do you much good. Always choose the best glue for the environment in which you're using the project in.

I'm about ready to go in my corner and wonder what life is all about... In another video someone posted how the gorilla glue failed on them. Titebond is practically the number one glue used in luthier and all we have is gorilla glue. It's 50/50 at this point whether I should trust the gorilla glue or order titebond if our stores don't have any.

Okay so I've tested the gorilla glue on scrap wood I'm using and found that it is indeed a viable option (it's become a solid piece). However, I did glue the guitar headstock on the neck, but you have absolute ZERO time to clamp your pieces together!... It's ridiculous! If you are going to use gorilla glue, DO NOT TAKE YOUR TIME TO APPLY TO BOTH PIECES!!! Just apply on one piece and rush, rush, RUSH to clamp your pieces together! I purposely made my pieces very slightly curved so that the middle will exhaust the glue to try to have the wood touching together and have the glue excess more on the sides but now I have a thick slob of glue in between the wood because it started curing within 3 minutes of applying to both pieces and clamping no longer had an effect within 5 minutes. I am now scared to think about gluing the fretboard onto the neck because it is a larger surface and I will need to finish applying and clamping in under 2 minutes... I really wanted to minimize wood-glue-wood vibration transfer but that option is out the window. I guess I will confirm that gorilla glue IS reliable... You just have NO control over how much squeeze out you get from clamping unless it's a tiny project.

Very helpful, i will be using gorilla glue! What is your accent btw, its very interesting

Hehe I'm Polish 👍

Check the other guy vid where his gorilla glue goes well over 100 Kg. Where is the mistake? I'm trying to figure it out. Let me know your opinion on this. Thanks

Depends on many factors. Equipment used to do the test, measuring device, type of wood ( how pours it is ), moisture content, how long the glue was setting etc.

Hi Tom, Carlo Duroni, down below came up with a "fact" that I have definetly heard sometime ago, and have heard it many times since, but when I was working in the Upholstery business perhaps?, and it was definetly said, by "knowledgeable people", Foremen or Craftsmen??, that thePVA glue that was used joining the wood was stronger than the wood?, and the wood would brake before the glue?, never researched that, as I believed it!. So I am shocked to find that in your experiment the Glue broke????, OK it was they PVA, but maybe what was said about PVA is TRUE?, (go on do it again with PVA). I agree with the Italien your good to watch & hear).
